About Rachel

"My classes guide the student through an integrated yoga practice that includes asana (yoga postures), pranayama (breathwork), Kriya (energy activation) and Meditation (deep inward focus) The asana style varies on the needs of the student and can range from strong vinyasa flow to gentle restorative postures.

I believe, if we do the practice, every one of us has access to reach our highest potential. This practice helps us shed that negative stuff which holds us back... it takes us inwards to discover our true nature....it transcends ego consciousness and releases us from the shackles of the lower mind filled with self doubt, self loathing and criticism.

Do this practice consistently without expectation and life will only get better. I can vouch for that.

Yoga sessions with Rachel are fully integrated, including all aspects of yoga not just 'the asana' which has become the main focus for many western practitioners. Classes are fluid, strong and dynamic with a deep belief, trust and personal experience of the positive effects yoga can have, not only physically but energetically, mentally and spiritually. Following the teachings of the Himalayan Tradition through the lineage of Babaji and also Patanjalis yoga sutras, the ashtanga eight fold path, Iyengars precision alignment and Desikachar's spiritual influence (Krishnamacharya lineage) be prepared to activate prana (energy), breathe deeply , flow gracefully, deepen concentration and focus, meditate, stretch, strengthen, sweat, chant and challenge yourself, always with a sense of humour, always to inspiring uplifting music and always with deep respect and gratitude for the sacred teachings past down from the Masters and Rishis.
